- url https://iptrace.io/pricing/
- free tier: Free account: up to 50k lookups per month, as the pricing page states; the home page says the product is joining ipstack.com and sends sign-ups there, and api.iptrace.io does not accept connections. | unit: requests | metered on: request-count | read on: 2026-11-02 | source: [1] | note: The pricing page also lists paid plans from USD 8 a month, billed as USD 100 a year, for 200k requests a month.
- per-object cap: not stated

- interface: rest
- limits:
  - volume-quota (binding): 50k lookups a month on the free account, as listed on the pricing page [1]

- endpoint: part of interface detail
- tooling: any HTTP client
- composes with: Not reachable: the API host times out and the home page sends sign-ups to ipstack.com, which has its own record (data-apis/ipstack). Bulk path: none stated
- reliability: api.iptrace.io does not accept TCP connections on ports 443 and 80 (20-second timeouts) while iptrace.io answers; the ipstack notice is on the home page in every archived copy from 2019-08-23 on.
- notes: Free requests: up to 50k a month on the pricing page, not reachable now. Rate limit: not stated. Bulk path: none stated. The API host does not answer, and the home page has sent users to ipstack.com since August 2019 in its archived copies.
- evidence note: The home, pricing and documentation pages and archived copies of 2019, 2025 and 2026 were read on 2026-11-02, and the API host's connection timeouts were measured; no keyed request was possible. A working api.iptrace.io would reopen the verdict.
